In the config file there is a field in the layer properties. It looks something like below I know it filters what you see when you are closing a work order vs identifying a work order. Can you use it for other things such as a different view of creating a WO on valves or creating a Hydrant inspection vs identifying a hydrant inspection?
<Field Options="" BackColor="buttonface" Caption="" Name="LOCATION" ForeColor="buttontext" HyperFormat="" BoxColor="buttonface">
<FilterFields Visibility="True" Mode="WO_ID" />
<FilterFields Visibility="False" Mode="WO_Close" />
</Field>
